Look Smart
Feels like I've grown rather saturated of smartphones without even starting to use one. =P Too much seeing them used in buses and trains and they start to look the same*. With running apps that look the same too (usually messaging or touchscreen games... pardon me for glancing).
* Even those of a certain fruity flavour, as I'm just not a gadget person enough to bother to differentiate at a glance, with those protectors on.
The increase in capability is of course a good thing, but visually speaking, I feel that the older feature phones, with range of models that are more distinguishable, have more of a personality.
But call me biased, as I'm still using a feature phone and liking it (points for it being able to fit unobstrusively in my pocket, and I'm on full-fledged computers almost all the time, anyway); wait til it's time for my mobile plan recontract + handset upgrade and see --- shall I go for looks, or intelligence? ;P
On a related but not exactly relevant topic, here's an interesting article that questions the nurturing of that intelligence (in general terms) where it should foremost be.

Personally I loved my blackberry BUT it was purely for looks, I didn't use BBM or set up any apps. I did use the internet but I could use that on my old phone anyways. I would always go for looks above anything else bc i have a laptop and i don't need to be able to get emails instantly [at the end of the day if it's that important they can just ring you!]
